This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I was in the military, and smokers got breaks.

It does have a felt effect, but is very mild. The thing is that the body loves nicotine, and even if you’re not consciously getting high, your body is getting high. That’s why vapes were able to become popular.

The body loves it so much, the smoke stops smelling bad to you.

And finally, the fact that it smells bad & keeps people away is a GOOD thing.

I'd rather smell like smoke than body odor after being in the field for a week or two with no showers.

I never did any of that stuff, but after what they have to do, I can think of few things, that you could do as soon as you got back, that would be better than a cigarette.
